Daily Prompt: Tame, An Unkind Word

A simple word,
So gentle on its surface.
A pleasant word,
Cloaking unkind purpose.

Has there ever been a word so contrary to existence? to the very nature of the universe? Yet it is the goal of socialist governments and utopian dreamers. Tame the human spirit to control the masses; tame the human spirit to create a world of bland sameness and emotional equity.

A ruse, a poison apple, a tainted lure served on a silver platter, yet so many willingly pull their chair to the table and feast on roasted fallacy.
